September EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the Second Saturday of every month

FOR GAME ADS:

Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed.

PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad.

FOR GAME QUESTIONS:

RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme.

This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content).

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join.

There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL section, where you post your character's canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form.

There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences.

Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above.

If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game.

IN GENERAL:

Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be frozen or screened.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

The Quarry, Stranger Things, Control, Alan Wake, Obscure Musicals, Strange New Worlds

[personal profile] cathaige 2022-09-11 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
OFFERING!
Laura Kearney ➤ The Quarry
Kaitlyn Ka ➤ The Quarry
Chrissy Cunningham ➤ Stranger Things
Jesse Faden ➤ Control
Alice Wake ➤ Alan Wake
Mina Murray Harker ➤ Dracula das Musical
Elisabeth “Sisi” Wittelsbach ➤ Elisabeth das musical
The Silent ➤ Romeo et Juliette de la Haine a l’amour
Captain Batel ➤ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

LOOKING FOR!
➤ For Laura, my kingdom for castmates! Especially Travis (I fucking loved their dynamic), and Ryan! Max too! Honestly everyone. Same for Kaitlyn. All the castmates! But especially Dylan and Ryan.

➤ For Chrissy I would love Eddie! All the Eddies! But also Steves and Nancys and Robins. I’m especially here for AUs where she [SPOILERS]. See how things changed. What happened.

➤ For my Remedy ladies I would love castmates! Alan Wake, Barry Wheeler, Dr Darling, Arish, Emily Pope, Mr Scratch, Sarah Breaker, Ahti. All the Remedy folks, please! For all the shenanigans! And I would LOVE to play around with AUs where Alice ends up the Director instead of Jesse. Also rescuing Alan. Cross-canon shenanigans would be fun, too. (I think her meeting Francis York Morgan from Deadly Premonition would be fucking DELIGHTFUL.) Especially other characters from something like The Librarians. Canons where there are secret organizations and such.

➤ For my obscure musical characters I would give all the Dark Side cookies for CASTMATES! Der Tod, Van Helsing, Quincy fucking Morris, Jonathan Harker, Dracula, Mercutio, Benvolio, EVERYONE!

➤ For Captain Batel I would LOVE Pikes. The two of them are cute as HELL and I love 'em. I haven't watched the season finale but I Have Heard. And I would love to either ignore the SHIT out of it... or fix it. (I hope that it will be fixed in canon but until it is... RP!)


ODDS AND ENDS
➤ I’m MST and tend to keep odd hours; so there’s a lot of nightowl-y tags. Especially on the weekends.
➤ I am a slowbutt when it comes to tags sometimes. But I will backtag forever!
➤ I tend towards prose generally (because I can be a wordy bastard and that ends up being a lot of small text) but I can do brackets too.
➤ Always down for plotting and talking about ideas.

ZOOMS HERE.

HELLO!! First of all, I'm super thrilled to see any other Quarries at all. But second, gosh my kingdom for a Kaitlyn. I've been dying to RP off of one for a while now. I will die on the hill that Kaitlyn/Ryan/Dylan would make the best ot3.

Which all that to say, if you'd like to do anything with these two, I am down!

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-12 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I will be right beside you on that hill, honestly. Kaitlyn/Ryan/Dylan would be the BEST OT3.

I would LOVE to! I've been wanting to do something with her for a while, now.

[personal profile] lenivyous 2022-09-12 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ryan sure is the luckiest guy 😤

But!!! I can toss something up in your open post when I get home from work. Do you have any sort of scenarios you'd wanna explore? Just general aftermath from that night or bad ending infection route or anything else? I've been primarily playing wolf!Dylan, but I'm open to playing the one-handed and still human variety haha.
finalgirling: (Default)

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-12 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Heck yeah he is.

Ooh HM. 🤔 God, all of the things, honestly. (I say, being no help. XD) Aftermath from that night would be great, though. There's a WHOLE LOT for them to unpack once Silas is dealt with. And bad end infection route also. How the heck do they all deal with being werewolves now? Or somewhere in between as well.
lenivyous: ([ 035 ])

[personal profile] lenivyous 2022-09-12 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooo! How about immediate aftermath? Like picking straight up from where we last saw Kaitlyn and Dylan. When the sun starts to rise and the relief sets in of the nightmare mostly being over. Could make it potentially angsty and go the route that Kaitlyn shot Caleb....and give some hurt/comfort vibes when they see just who the wolf was?

Immediate aftermath would be PERFECT.

Sorry, work is a little nutty so I will for sure try to get something started for us by tomorrow night <3

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-18 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
No worries! Me and Kaitlyn aren't going anywhere. <3

<3 one starter sent your way. Sorry for the delay. Had a pet emergency, but all is better now!

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-26 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries! I will hit it up later! Glad the pet emergency is all better.

Oh hey sup I just saw this while browsing EMP. I have this account and am down for dipping into a thread to polyamorously flirt and then go aloof without committing to anything. If you guys want! I'm way too flaky to be trusted with a full thread, but fully here for guest appearances.

slides in over here
I know I'm not one of the listed castmates but I am still a castmate! :3 if there's anything you're interested in, let me know!
finalgirling: (Default)

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-12 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Heck no you are absolutely on the list because I would love ALL the Quarry folks! And I would very much enjoy shenanigans with Emma.
deceitfuls: please dnt (03)

[personal profile] deceitfuls 2022-09-12 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
There's so much to choose from! I can throw myself at your open post if you want; I guess I'm curious about if you want something before or after, or even during. :3
finalgirling: (Default)

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-14 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
There is!

Oh god! How do I CHOOSE though? XD During or after might be fun? Either aftermath shenanigans or something during the whole thing somehow.
deceitfuls: please dnt (Default)

[personal profile] deceitfuls 2022-09-16 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
RIGHT LOL it's a damn hard call...

Maybe during, since it's how we're most familiar with the characters for now? Emma's brand new for me after all haha... and unlike Until Dawn we don't really get to see how it affects them (although I'm sure we can guess it's much the same). And then maybe if we vibe well we can go for some after fun too.
finalgirling: (Default)

[personal profile] finalgirling 2022-09-18 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaitlyn's brand new for me too, so I'm definitely here for going with the more familiar option first as I dip my toes into playing her. So this sounds like a plan to me!
deceitfuls: please dnt (Default)

[personal profile] deceitfuls 2022-09-19 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Did you want me to throw a starter together for us and link it to you?

That would be wonderful!
